#OnlyAtGW Video Campaign

Field(s): illustration, art direction

Illustrations are woven throughout the Capital Emmy Award and Gold ADDY (AAA–DC) Award-winning video campaign series of 18 video stories of unique #OnlyAtGW moments, told by students, faculty and staff of the GW community. I suggested and implemented the idea of using each featured person’s own handwriting to write out their name and title at the start, as well as ‘#OnlyAtGW’ at the end of each video to tie the series together in a way that was personal for each. As a result of this campaign, community engagement grew, as evidenced by social media responses and student enrollment.

KKBC Identity

New identity for Kingstowne Korean Baptist Church (site launching soon!). Deliverables include website, t-shirts, service program, business cards, and letterhead. There was no previous logo or identity, and previous website was a makeshift Blogger site. I built the website as a single page, organizing all the original content in a way that is clearer and more concise.

GWNursing Magazine

Field(s): publication, editorial, print design, art direction, illustration

I was asked to create a brand new design, including all visual language, layout, typesetting, and illustrations, for a special issue of GWNursing for the School of Nursing’s 5th anniversary.

Minee Sans

Field(s): type design

As a final project in Lettering & Type with Bruce Willen and Nolen Strals during undergrad at MICA, I taught myself FontLab Studio and designed the lowercase letters for a typeface I called Extraclear, combining my knowledge, research on legibility, and common sense. The idea was there but it being my first foray into type design, several of the character forms were pretty wonky.

Minee Sans is a revived attempt at a typeface focused on legibility. This time around, I started with a fine appreciation for refined bezier curves, used FontForge, and developed the entire character set.
